WELL UP IN HIS BUSINESS.
The Bulgarian, it is said, has also been
building up a reputation which will, per
haps, secure him place in the future as
frontiSpece for a Keaney street cigar
store, since he has seven times week been
depicting dead Indian in manner which
might almost, without any bull being in
tended, be pronounced true TO life. Two or
three skeletons, emblazoned with a phos-
phorescent composition are also brought on
the scene at these seances. Birdie, while
hidden i'll her black robe, carries them out i'll
careful manner, making them appear as

relics OF humanity, answers whatever ques-

the latter are credited with the replies.
Ex-Judge W, Il well known lawyer
Mi. C., who belongs to the stock board
and other well-Inown citizens, are described
as frequent participants in these uncanny
proceedings. The medium charges 50 a
sitting to each person. and thus manages by
her spiritual gifts to satisfy her temporal
wants
Among the most profitable patrons of

rancher, who has come frequently to the
city to consult with this medium and OBJ
tain spiritual advice. He has been very
much attracted by the spirit OF a mar
named jackson, who has not only called al

OF the night, but has, presumably by dis

declared, it is alleged, that if the medium
kept his clothes, which he bequeathed tC
her, he would come back in spirit and in

valuable garments were therefore treasured
and kept in the cabinet, and jackson full
filled his promise whenever wanted Mrs
Gallagher says that the Bulgarian ex-

Anyhow, the rancher grew much attached
TO the spirit eff the departed Jackson, and
sought his advice on many matters con

that sometimes i'll a week he returned two

WHERE THE AIR-SHIP CONES IN.
The husband Of the medium is not de
voted to spiritualistic pursuits, He is of an
inventive turn of mind, it is said and while
content that spirits should rove the air I'M

fore been endeavOIing to COntrivc an air
ship, and has been expanding many years
and all his intellect upon the problem OF
making the air navigable. He has not yet
succeeded but his endcavOIS seem to have
interested the impalpable friends of his
wife. The spirit of jackson manifested its
absorption in the inventors work when the
rancher paid his last visit just previous to
Mrs. Gallaghers departure Jac6son's
spirit, which had been telling the country
customer what crops would be the most
abundant at certain seasons, and that he
should sell when the boom reached Liver

that he must give the mediums husband
$500 to complete the air-ship that it was to
be the universal means of transportation in
the future; was destined to knock out the
railroads and to hring in fabulous profits;
and that if the rural parsonage did not hand

The $780, it is said, was paid over, and very
likely the rancher is still obtaining spiritual
advice.
Mrs. Gallagher also recounted the mode
pursued in deceiving strange visitors who go
TO have the well drawn" and peer into the
future. The medium holds a conversation
with these customers in one room while her
assistants are listening in nn adjoining com
paitment. The latter having learned all
that is necessary to bring message from
the other world, resolve themselves into
ghosts, and are sufficiently informed to re-
